Hi-b.a. Camp

I just came back from week of camp called Hi-b.a. which is a ministry I am part of.
Hi-b.a. (High school Born Again) is youth ministry that came originally from the states but it is also in Japan. I attend international Hi-b.a. and serve there as volunteer staff.
We do our rallies at a place that is right beside the school in Tokyo called Christian Academy in Japan.
I graduated there and as a high school student I've attended Hi-b.a. and it has been a place where I received refreshment, confirmation and encouragement from the Lord.

SO it is really good and awesome that I get to be part of something that was influential in my life.

Here's are some picture from camp!
This year I was privileged to give a message at the first night session. I was extremely nervous but God worked in me and showed me my weakness and lack of trust in the Lord so it was really good for me to be broken before Him. It was good for my relationship with the Lord and it felt good to be honest and vulnerable in front of the students it was an amazing experience!
It ended up encouraging the campers so PRAISE THE LORD!
He can us ANYBODY! WEAKER THE BETTER haha More evidence of God's faithfulness and goodness and greatness of His abilities COME ON!

WELCOME!

FOOD WAS SO GOOD

FUN FUN FUN!

WORSHIP BAND真剣に賛美しましたw

Time of worship!

Wonderful time for congratulating the senior! by featuring Alice in the wonderland ;)

Wonderful Staff <3

Amazing Camp !

God is faithful and good. He loves unconditionally and He never runs out, He does not stop loving us no matter what He has decided and He will forever stick to love us.

It was so refreshing to see campers being touched by His love for the first time, having the revelation that they are not rejected but accepted by Him.

They all have grown not only in the knowledge of God but passion to pour out the love that has been given to others and most importantly back to Him. 

I am excited to see the growth I will see more as I grow alongside with them this year. 

So pray for these students and also staff that are involved at hi-b.a. for wisdom and patience, knowing what God has for us instead of what we want or make it happen, His ideas are better ;)

Also pray for me as I continue in my outreach phase! God's good during this week while I was gone to camp other Dts Students and staff did local outreach and they saw 4 salvation! THANK YOU JESUS!

Pray that God will continue to do the things that He does, restore, reconcile, save, heal and redeem!

AMEN

Love You guys. 

It's been long time once again haha PHILIPPINES

Hello people YES you clearly know I am not good at blogs but I will NOT give up I will keep trying!

I just now came back from outreach trip to the Philippines, this was my second time to lead a team to Philippines it was different experience once again and it was amazing what God has done through each of us!

Our reasons for going to Philippines was to reach the bar girls and stopping prostitution there.
We went to the bars at night and spend time loving on them, letting them know that they are loved by Jesus and that they are precious in the kingdom.
We also went to the countryside of the Philippines and reached to the tribal there, we went to couple other different ministries in the Philippines and encouraging the body of Christ, and also loving and caring the base that we stayed at. The base has many girls living and working majority escaped the bars to get equipped to learn other ways to get jobs and getting discipled learning/knowing more about Jesus :)

Isn't that neat? I am so blessed and honored to be able to work for the kingdom just loving Him first and loving on the people around me no matter where there are at. JUST LIKE JESUS.



Here are some pictures to show you my trip with my team

My Lovely Team from YWAM Tokyo DTS :)

I love each and every single one of them and each of them were totally being the light in the Philippines

The Kids at the base where we stayed at. This is our base's third time going to outreach in the Philippines and everytime we stay at this base and one of our highlights are being able to love the people here at the base and partnering with their vision in saving girls/ladyboys from prostitution.

This year we also had New Zealand team with us and we worked together in ministries & evangelism!

They were an amazing team that brought refreshment to us ;)

Others are people (workers, disciples, staff) that lives at this base! 

They have become family to us :)

These are some of the bar girls from "Escape bar" 

The girls are very open to the word of God many of them call themselves Christians and Philippine is known as a Christian Nation and so the truth has been spoken everywhere here. 

It was good to just love on them and have fun with them praying for them and encouraging them to live their lives worthy of His calling. Many of the girls I met was under 22 and they already have kids and their means to work is for their children's needs.

None of them enjoys the job but they often say they have no choice. 

Pray that they will return to God and rely on every needs from Him!

We had an open air where we did many skits/worship/short messages to spread the gospel it was great! 

Many people actually gathered around and stayed for the whole thing! 

Our team was able to reach to people and pray for people. 

One person was saved that they from one of the guys evangelizing to him! Praise the Lord!

And OFCOURSE I would find a Japanese! Hehehe 

Praying for Jojo, guy that I met during open air, he is a dancer. He was even on a show with his crew! 

People we met during evangelism! 

Left:Junior High students Right: Family! 

(we were doing a treasure haunt one of the girl got orange clothing, another girl got ice cream, another girl got cones and another girl got the number 2 walking around the mall we saw a family and sure enough the girl was wearing orange they had two ice cream with cones ! haha) We prayed for them and it was great ;) GOD IS SO GOOD

They have Bible study every week at the bar!!! Isn't that awesome!? We went there and we did worship, testimony from former prostitute and short messages, afterwards we got into a small group and prayed for the girls many were touched! 

Haha We went on a hike to tribal church, it was amazing beautiful and adventurous!
It was worth the walk. City girl like me had a little rough time ;p But the view was gorgeous!


We also went to Kingdom Kids where many street kids are and they have ministry where it is basically like a Children church! Majority are children and older kids are discipling younger kids and it is so precious to see faith like a child right in front of you!

We finished are outreach with Dance party at the base and it was pouring rain which made the party way more fun!!!! We praised God and had fun and loved on each other.

Saying goodbyes was tough and it was hard for the people there as well but we believe in faith that what we have done will bear eternal fruit! We did 24hr burn which also was an amazing time for all of us. Students loved it, learned from it and they grew just this two weeks so I am looking forward to rest of what our local outreach here in Japan will look like!

Continue to pray for me and support me in the ways you can ;)

I love you all and appreciate all that you do for me !
